2 Bed Clearwater Vacation Condo.
We had a great stay in this apartment, which had everything we needed in order to make our holiday comfortable and satisfactory. Amenities and planning corresponds well to the description and photos. The location is a great starting point to discover the neighborhoods as well as surrounding cities and sights. The grocery store as well as some restaurants are within walking distance from the apartment. Anastasios and Gary are very responsive and informative both prior- as well as under our stay, which was much appreciated. I can only give my best recommendations for this place. We hope to come back again one day soon.

Your New Townhome Awaits!
Everything as advertised and even extras, loved the closed gated community, very quite place will definitely stay again with my family.

Enjoy brand new vacation 2/2 condo & water park!
Host was very responsive to questions before and during our stay. This was our first time renting an Airbnb so that was so helpful. This is a great condo with easy access to the beach, restaurants, shops and more.

Bay Apartment 3
Great place to crash for a few nights to enjoy the beach!

Mini-Golf 2/1 with Heated pool.
The place is as described. Pool area was fantastic. Could use more silverware. Close to the beach. restaurants and stores.

Pass-a-Grille Historic Cottage Unit 2
We loved our stay at the little cottage. It was extremely clean and very charming! Everything we needed in the kitchen was there, all linens, etc. loved the back patio and the quick walk to the beach on one end of the block and intercostal on the other. We would definitely like to come back to this cottage.

Villa Madeira
Wow! The condo was so clean and had everything you need for the week. The view is breathtaking and we loved drinking coffee on the balcony every morning. The 3 bedrooms were perfect for our group, we all had our own space. Conveniently located to many place and walking distance to restaurants and ice cream at The Candy Kitchen. The communication was excellent before our stay and Kim checked in on us while we were there. This location, view and beach are worth it and such a good value! We would go back in a heartbeat! We had a great Spring Break!

Lake houses in Clearwater

Beautiful 4 Bedroom Tampa Lake House
If you're coming to Tampa for more than 2 weeks, LOOK NO FURTHER! This property is going to be your FAVORITE place to stay! Being right outside of the hustle and bustle of Tampa, this home is quite, pristine and well kept. The lake in the backyard is stunning and we fished every day! You can have dinners on the boat dock and enjoy the sunset and the birds flying by. It was an oasis for us while we stayed for 5 weeks for a medical trip. The home is clean and had the best stocked spice pantry for cooking needs. Waking up every day to that lake is magical and we were so grateful we stayed here. Brian is a great host! He was responsive and friendly, even bringing over fishing poles and a gift for our son. The house is kid friendly with many games and a tree house in the backyard. Our son caught his first fish at this house. The beds are extremely comfortable and the house is well decorated and updated. We loved the screened in patio too. We will stay here again! Thanks Brian, all the best

Lake Oasis—Private Suite, Ducks Visit Daily!
What a beautiful place. This rental is the oasis of relaxation . The back yard was stunning

Lakefront home near beaches w/ waterview, pets ok
It was a very good experience. If I could make any suggestions, it would be to have more towels available. It was enough for a day or two, but we were there three nights with 4 people and there didn’t seem to be enough. Also, hooks in the bathrooms would have been nice. This is just some picky suggestions. Overall, a wonderful location and very nice house.

Pool, Lake, casino, whole home 2 Kings 3 queens
The house was perfect for our stay. It was very clean and exactly as described. Thomas was very responsive and friendly. We will definitely stay here again if we get back to the Tampa area in the future. 100% recommend. Thank you Thomas

Waterfront Oasis! Kayaks,Hot Tub
We went to Tampa for a business trip, but didn’t want to stay in a hotel. We chose this place because of the location on the water and the kayaks. We spent almost all of our time on the water and fishing. The house was located close to everything you would possibly need, but once you were out back you forgot you were close to the city! The hosts were super responsive anytime I messaged with questions. The house was very comfortable. AC was cold. Comfortable bed. We would definitely stay again!

Tree House Treasure
We absolutely loved the treehouse. It is surrounded with beautiful foliage and views of the water. We saw alligator’s, turtles and birds from our porch. The view from every window was amazing. We really enjoyed the screened in porch and lower level porch they were both so peaceful. Also liked being able to walk to the park from the neighborhood and many good restaurants and shops a ten minute drive. Nancy was pleasant and quick to respond to all are needs. We would love to visit again

#RespectCreation
If I had to rate more than 5 star, I will do 100. Beautiful house, great location. House inside was so clean, with beautiful backyard and huge pool. Is probably 7 min from the beach, with so many stores around for shopping. So easy to find, huge parking lot, gave us opportunities to park 4 cars there, backyard was so relaxing. Kids loved the heated pool. Taylor was so respectful and returned my messages in like 10min. He was so understanding and friendly. I definitely recommend this beautiful house to my friends and family. Thank you Taylor

Stunning Lakefront-King bed - 10 min to beaches
Great accommodations! Close to all beaches! Clean and comfortable space. Pool overlooking lake was amazingly relaxing! Pantry was full of available and miscellaneous items. Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash on site. Beds comfortable!!
Beach house rentals in Clearwater

Steps 2 Beach-Island Cottage w/king bd+2bike+parki
The cottage has been beautifully and thoughtfully updated (bathroom and kitchen) without destroying the patina and character that defines the old school, Pass-a-Grille feel.

Big 1/1 Beach house w/ Sunset Balcony
Gina’s beach house was perfect! Easy check-in, the location is great being that it’s two streets away from the beach, and the place itself felt like home. The communication was timely and friendly. I would stay here again. ☀️

Rita's Cottage by the Beach - Steps to Ocean!
We stayed for a week at Rita’s place and admired the quiet neighborhood, spacious backyard, well-equipped kitchen and closeness to the beach. The dining area was a cozy place where our family gathered to enjoy morning coffee sunbathing in the rising sun. Entire house is beach theme decorated which created a true feeling on being in vacation. We were greatful for beach chairs, wagon, umbrella. The place was perfect for our dog. The neighborhood was quiet and family friendly. We created memories in this place that our kids will cherish throughout their lives!

Amazing water front view home newly renovated
We had a very enjoyable stay here. There were 5 of us and it was perfect, could have accommodated more. Master bath slightly small, though 2 sinks. Very spacious living area and deck is humongous, great view, and the greatest asset! Only drawback for us was that it was about a 15 min walk to beach - not insurmountable, but did mean we had to deal w/ a car every time we went bec we had “beach stuff” in tow.

Beach Side STEPS TO BEACH!
We stayed post-hurricane Milton. We were made aware of some damage, but we were not too concerned with that. We had just left our flooded home and needed a place to decompress and plan our next moves. We decided to brave it out on the beach, and had this been a vacation, this house would have been perfect—just steps from a public beach access path and two blocks from Johns Pass Village.

Ocean Dreaming: Waterfront Home with Heated Pool,
We would go back in a heartbeat! The house and location was perfect! Our kids loved the pool and being able to kayak and paddle board right from the dock was amazing! We saw dolphins multiple times a day and had fun fishing. The golf cart was perfect for getting to the beach and plenty of restaurants, including an ice cream shop! I would totally recommend this place!

Steps to a Private Beach Clearwater Belleair
Fantastic location. Fabulous amenities. Coffee station, live cable TV, washer/dryer, clean/functioning beach equipment and very comfortable king size bed! Can't wait to stay again.

Heated Pool & Hot Tub 0.7 mile from Beach
We had a lovely stay at this beautiful home in Florida! The location was great for us — We have two smaller kids so we spent much more time at the pool than the beach so we didn't need it to be walkable, it was just a short drive away, and there was easy parking near the public beach access. The house itself was nicely decorated. We especially loved the pool and hot tub.. We had an issue on the first day with the hot tub and the owners were also incredibly responsive and quick to communicate with us, making sure it was quickly fixed. We were also pleasantly surprised by the abundance of towels provided, which made our stay even more convenient. One of our pet peeves with renting houses is when the owners make you do a long list of chores before checking out. This house was the opposite, just a few simple requests, the check out was so easy which is such an added bonus! Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a great place to stay in Florida!

Your guide to Clearwater
All About Clearwater
Sitting on Florida’s Gulf Coast, just 20 miles northwest of Tampa, Clearwater is a blend of small beachside town and metropolitan hotspot. Here you can bask in the sun on the sugar-white sand beaches while boats bob in the Clearwater Harbor Marina. Along the Beach Walk promenade flagged by mangrove trees, five-star restaurants bump elbows with casual beachside seafood eateries, featuring local specialties like freshly caught stone crab or grouper sandwiches. In the evening Pier 60 holds a nightly sunset festival, where vendors set up stalls and street performers show off their music, magic, and more.
Caladesi Island State Park, which can be reached by ferry, offers miles of hiking or biking trails and the chance to kayak over the crystal clear waters of the gulf. This pristine island is home to several natural habitats that are crucial to the survival of native plant and animal species.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Clearwater
With Clearwater’s location on the Gulf Coast, the city experiences mild weather all year round. Summer brings high heat and humidity, and the start of hurricane season means this is Clearwater’s slow season. In October, temperatures start to cool off but there are fewer visitors than in the peak winter and spring season, so this may be an ideal time to book your Clearwater vacation rental if you’re looking for a quiet getaway. Snowbirds and spring breakers come to the area in the winter and early spring to enjoy the warm weather and beautiful beaches, making this the busiest time of the year.
Clearwater hosts a music and arts festival every May, and each June the streets transform into a living gallery during the Art Walk. Foodies looking to indulge in the region’s cuisine may want to visit in late October when the Stone Crab Festival celebrates the local delicacy.
Top things to do in Clearwater
Sand Key Bridge
The views from this concrete bridge connecting Clearwater with the more secluded Sand Key Park make Sand Key Bridge worth visiting. On one side of the walking path is the beautiful Clearwater skyline, with shimmering glass skyscrapers reflecting the waters of the Gulf. Opposite that are the swaying mangrove trees, salt marshes, and white sand beaches of Sand Key Park, where you can take a quiet stroll through the park’s trails.
Clearwater Dolphins Trail
During your visit to Clearwater, keep a lookout for colorful life-sized dolphin statues. This collaborative art project sponsored by the city comprises more than 120 dolphins designed and created by local artists. The dolphins are made of glass, ceramic, and fiber art, and they are hidden all throughout the city.
Moccasin Lake State Park
This 51-acre nature preserve is an exhibition of the plant and wildlife native to Clearwater Beach, like peacocks, gopher turtles, and birds of prey. Explore miles of trails and boardwalks that pass over gentle streams in the shade of massive oak trees. The preserve is also a rehabilitation center for birds of prey, like the iconic Bald Eagle.
